Ripple

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine,

and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,

would you hear my voice come through the music?

Would you hold it not near,

as it were your own?

It's a handmedown,

the thoughts are broken.

Perhaps they're better the left (C)unsung.

And I don't know,

don't really (F)care.

low.

(C)Let there be songs (F)to fill the air.

(Dm)Ripple in still (G7)water, when there is no pebble tossed,

nor (D7)wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be (F)empty.

If your cup is full, may it be again.

Let it hear be known,

there is a fountain

you hold was not made by the hands of men.

There a is a road,

no simple highway,

between the dawn ter the dark of (C)night.

And if you go,

no one may (F)follow.

(C)That path is for (F)your steps alone.

(Dm)Ripple in still (G7)water, when there is no pebble tossed,

nor (D7)wind to blow.

Reach out your hand

(G)You who choose to lead must (F)follow,

but if you fall, you fall alone.

If you should stand,

then who's to guide you?

(C)If I knew the (G)way, (F)I would take you (C)home.

La dee da da da,

la da da (F)da da,

da da da da da da da da.

La da da da,

da da da da da.

(C)Da I da da (G)da, (F)la da da da (C)home.

La dee da da da, da.
